Securing ColdFusion 10

We are preparing to upgrade to ColdFusion 10 from ColdFusion 8.  We are particulary interested in best practices for securing the installation, in particular securing the administrator on external facing systems.
The installation will be in a Solaris environment using Oracle iPlanet Web Server.
Can anyone provide such best practices, experiences or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there are many. (While you refer to CF10, I’ll assume you’re also open to general guidelines that apply to all releases of CF10.)
First is the “Adobe ColdFusion 9 server lockdown guide file”, at http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/910 25512-cf9-lockdownguide-wp-ue.pdf.
There is also the “ColdFusion 8 developer security guidelines file”, at ColdFusion 8 developer security guidelines file.
Both of these are listed at the bottom of (because they’re older) of the CF Security center site:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/security.html
As for CF10 security, there have been many changes, discussed among other places here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/security-improvements.html (which is also listed on that security center). It also has preso recordings and more.
As for CF security in general, the “go to guy” for that (who in fact wrote that Lockdown guide) is Pete Freitag, who with his company Foundeo (foundeo.com) offer still other resources (info and tools), among which the most important is the free HackMyCF.com service (which offers additional commercial features), which can scan your server and identify vulnerabilities and recommends fixes.
Finally, as for your root question of securing your Admin, that’s best done by either securing its access with your external web server (iPlanet, in your case) which can involve requiring basic, digest, or other additional authentication (beyond CF’s password), limiting IP addresses that can access it, and more. Those are features of the web server, though, not CF.
On the other hand, some resort to NOT allowing access to the CF Admin (via that external web server) and let it be accessed only via CF’s internal web server (Tomcat’s web server, in CF10). Because by default that works on a port other than 80 (8500, for instance), that would be blocked on your server unless opened in your firewall. Surprisingly, I find that this idea is not discussed in either of the first two guides above. But the CF documentation (both the Installing, and the Configuring and Administering manuals) does discuss the internal web server.
Hope that helps.

  • A simple app to secure coldfusion pages - Running into an issue with Session

    Hello, I am testing out how to protect pages in coldfusion and have run into an issue when attempting to create a process by which users can log out.
    Essentially, I have three pages:
    Page A - The form that submits to Page B
    Page B - That checks the form.username and form.password against a database (works fine)
    Page C - Logout page (Which is where I am having an issue).
    Page C throws a "variable Session is undefined" error
    Here is the code on Page C:
    <cfset StructClear(Session)>
    <cflocation url="index.cfm">
    Here is the code on Page B:
    <cfif NOT IsDefined ("form.username")>
    <cflocation url="index.cfm" addtoken="No">
    </cfif>
    <cfquery name="test" datasource="cfdb">
    SELECT * FROM USERS
    WHERE USERNAME = '#FORM.username#'
    AND PASSWORD = '#FORM.password#'
    </cfquery>
    <!---<CFSET Session.LoggedIn = "1">
    <CFSET Session.FirstName = "#test.FirstName#">--->
    <CFIF test.RecordCount IS 0>
    <cflocation url="index.cfm" addtoken="No">
    <CFSET StructClear(Session)>
    <cfelse>
    <CFSET Session.LoggedIn = "1">
    <!---<cflocation url="test.cfm" addtoken="No">--->
    </cfif>
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    </head>

    <p> </p>
    <p><br>
      This content is protected.
    </p>
    </body>
    </html>
    As you can see, nothing fancy
    Now, I thought that the Session variable could be accessed by any page within a given browser instance, but I am obviously wrong.
    What do I need to do for Page C (my logout page to be able to access the session variable).
    Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

    1.
    “Variable Session is undefined” error comes up when you try to manipulate a session variable which does not exist, as at that point in time. To take care of possible empty session structures, it is good practice to check first if your session is defined.
    So you will have something like:
    <cfif isDefined("session")>
    <cfset StructClear(Session) />
    <cfelse>
    <cflocation url="index.cfm">
    </cfif>
    2.
    To enable you access your session variables from any page in your application, you need to enable session management in your Application.cfm or Application.cfc.
    cfm   <cfapplication sessionmanagement="Yes" />
    cfc        <cfcomponent>
    <cfset THIS.SessionManagement = "Yes" />
    </cfcomponent>

  • Locking down coldfusion for security threats

    Hi,
    We were looking to lockdown our coldfusion server from outside threats and have lookd at multiple forums for it. Most of them were referring to run coldfusion under an unprivileged user account (other than administrator).
    Has anyone done similar kind of configuration before as we haven't got any clue how to do this. We will appreciate if someone could write down all the steps to do it.

  • Performance tuning & Securing MX 7 on IIS 6

    I never had much at all to do with Coldfusion and have just been asked to look into making some security and performance suggestions for a small Windows 2003/IIS 6 server farm using Coldfusion MX 7.
    This is what I was planning;
    Configure all IIS websites to use a seperate IIS application pool (security)
    Configure all IIS websites to use a seperate windows user account for authentication (security)
    Configure IIS content expiration (performance)
    Configure IIS file compression and static file caching (performance)
    Use 3rd party anti leech tool (security/performance)
    Problem is although I am familiar enough with IIS, I don't really have a good understanding of how Coldfusion MX 7 hangs together. From what I've read to date (which is pretty limited) it appears as if Coldfusion doesn't use IIS for much more than serving HTTP requests. Is this an accurate summation?
    If so, then how does Coldfusion interact with IIS? Particularity in relation to the points I mentioned above? I read a guide on securing Coldfusion MX 7 on IIS from the Adobe website and it makes no mention of doing the segregation I listed above, and one of my colleagues told me that Coldfusion doesn't even use IIS application pools or worker processes (not sure how this would even be possible) and handles content compression and caching itself as well as security.
    Basically, any pointers/advice on how Coldfusion MX 7 interacts with IIS 6 and if the points I made are valid in an IIS/Coldfusion environment would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers!

  • Security bulletin manual updates for CF v8.0.1

    I have a couple of questions in the regard.
    1) Do all the bulletins apply to 8.0.1 on this page? http://www.adobe.com/support/security/#coldfusion
    2) If so, can I manually apply the patches by copying said .jar files to the cf_root/lib/updates folder as opposed to using the administrator to do so? And, if not, is there any way to apply the patches without the administrator? I would like to script the update as we have a process for silently installing CF and I would like to include the updates in that process automatically.

  • Coldfusion back-end, AngularJS front-end, and Security

    The company I work for is building an application in which security is of the utmost importance.  We're really hoping to use Angular as the client-side application, and we're exploring how best to create our back-end in ColdFusion (which we've used for a few years now).
    I understand that only so much security can exist in the front-end of the app, and that the bulk of the work needs to happen on the server.  But I'm really unsure about how to move forward in that regard.  From what I've read, it sounds like we'll need some kind of Authentication Token to be created on login and stored on the backend.  This token should come along with every http request, and the server can then decide on the validity of the request.
    Does this sound about right?  And if so, are there best practices for implementing it?
    Any resources that might shed more light on the topic would be HUGELY appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Either C# or java can handle the job. Why both? I don't get it.It all depends on how big the teams are and how much "separation of concerns" you are looking for. In enterprise architecture what i aim to do is try to give the development groups freedom to use whatever technology they feel best suits their need...BUT...if they want to talk to other systems and vice versa, they have to follow certain standards (SOAP, REST etc). Architect the lines, not the boxes. If you are not looking for separation of concerns, sure build out everything in one technology..but keep it mind future changes.Thank,
    It is good thing to learn. I used to work with java front end calling Cobol back end (using transactions)
    I know C# and java can talk by SOAP or web services but only wondered about the reason.
    If I am going to design everything new, one technology is the answer.

  • Coldfusion 8 & WS-Security

    Does coldfusion support the implementation of WS-Security? I
    am running Coldfusion 8 Enterprise Edition as a stand alone server.

    As far as I know CF cannot consume or produce WS-Security.
    I've consumed
    a .net security enabled web service using raw XML. I think
    it's much
    harder to produce ws-security in CF (you're still going to do
    it raw
    just that it's harder).

  • ColdFusion failed security in invoking a WebSphere web service

    Hello,
    I tried to call a web service hosted in a IBM WebSphere
    server, but could not pass WebSphere's security framework. After
    some talking with the guys in the WebSphere side, I'm not sure
    whether this is possible in ColdFusion because they ask for a
    <wsse:UsernameToken> in the SOAP envelope header. We did some
    testing, and they confirmed that ColdFusion could talk to the web
    service, by could not pass security validation. Would someone help
    me here? Must it be done in Java?
    Here is my calling syntax in ColdFusion:
    <cfinvoke webservice="https://WebServiceURL?wsdl"
    method="myMethod" username="myUserName" password="myPassword"
    returnVariable="ReturnCode">
    <cfinvokeargument name="ParaName"
    value="ParameterValue">
    </cfinvoke>
    The web service is locked down, so the calling client must
    issue a SOAP message containing VALID security extensions:
    <soapenv:Envelope
    xmlns:soapenv="
    http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
    xmlns:ws="
    http://somedomain"
    xmlns:wsse="

    <soapenv:Header>
    <wsse:Security>
    <wsse:UsernameToken>
    <wsse:Username>myUserName</wsse:Username>
    <wsse:Password>myPassword</wsse:Password>
    </wsse:UsernameToken>
    </wsse:Security>
    </soapenv:Header>
    <soapenv:Body>
    ... REMOVED as this depends on your individual SOAP service
    </soapenv:Body>
    </soapenv:Envelope>
    The guys at WebSphere said that my ColdFusion SOAP call
    probably did not have the envelope security header. IIs there a way
    to capture the underlying actual SOAP call format? Here is the
    error msg:

  • Consume a webservice developed in other than coldfusion  in WS-Security mode

    1. What are the prerequisites (any software installation, configuration) to be considered ?

    Thanks Dan Bracuk, for your reply.
    What I could understand from Sivakarthikeyan post is that
    Point 1)
    It is mentioned that they are going to consume external webservices for which he would like to know whether any software/configuration is required to implement WS-Security (In IIS or coldfusion administrator)?
    Point 2)
    It could be a correct URL that he is using, from his description (2nd step) he gets a error message as "Unable to read WSDL file". If it of incorrect URL then he would have received file not found or other error message.
    Can you please or anyone clarify?

  • Coldfusion secure FTP & digital certificates

    Hello !
    I am currently in the process of developing a corporate CF intranet site that is behind a corporate firewall and part of the application will need to send a data file (FTP put) to a remote FTP server using secured FTP (FTPS). I have never used Coldfusion before for either secured or unsecured FTP.  I am planning on using the CFFTP tag to open the connection and send the data file but I have a number of other questions regarding the use & installation of the digital certificates.:
    Current development environment setup:
    CF version 9 standard edition running on Windows Server 2008 R2
    Microsoft IIS 7
    Current production environment setup:
    CF version 9  enterprise edition running on Windows Server 2008 R2
    Microsoft IIS 7
    1.  The data file that is being created must be sent to a finanacial institution and they will be providing a digital certificate (p12 format) to me.  What do I do with that certificate once I get it ?  I have installed SSL certificates before on http web sites with IIS without any issues but I am not sure what to do with the certificate for secured FTP.  Do I import the certificate into IIS using the MMC snap on or does the certificate need to be integrated into Coldfusion in some other way and if so, what needs to be done ?
    2.  What other steps need to be prior to being able to use the CFFTP tag for a secured FTP send ?
    I would appreciate as much help as possible as I haven't used CF for FTP before.
    Thank you.

    Dave,
    Thank you for answering.
    1.  I have imported the certificate into the cacerts file by using the following command:
         keytool -import -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -alias x  -file c:\downloads\y
         where x was the alias name I assigned and y was the certificate name (extension of 'der').
    I tried importing a p12 and p7b certificate but neither of those worked.  I received the message 'Not a valid X.509 Certificate' from the command.  I then successfully imported a Base64 certificate (der).  I believe the certificate has been successfully imported because I ran the following and it shows the MD5 fingerprint:
         keytool -list -alias x -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts
         where x is my alias name I assigned in the original import
    2.  I then ran the following CFM command replacing the '*'s with the appropriate server name, user name, and password
         <cfftp action="open" connection="conn1" secure="yes" server="********" username="******" password="*****" port="21"
         </cfftp>
         I am getting the CF error
    An error occurred while establishing an sFTP connection.
    Verify your connection attributes: username, password, server, fingerprint, port, key, connection, proxyServer, and secure (as applicable). Error: User Authentication failed.
    Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Does ColdFusion : Security Bulletin APSB10-11 apply to MX 7.0.2

    I contacted adobe phone support and was directed to post my question to the forum because adobe doesn't provide phone support for server products.
    So, Does ColdFusion : Security Bulletin APSB10-11 apply to MX 7.0.2?
    In the Security Bulleting it reads like it does:
    Summary
    Important vulnerabilities have been identified in ColdFusion 8.0, 8.0.1, 9.0 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX. The vulnerabilities could lead to cross-site scripting and information disclosure.

    However, there are no solutions in the technote:
    Issue
    Note: This technote and the attachments have been updated on 05/13/2010. All ColdFusion users should review the technote again. An issue when this security fix was applied with Cumulative Hot Fix 4 for ColdFusion 8.0.1 has been identified and resolved. The issue was caused by a naming conflict.
    ColdFusion 9.0, 8.0.1 and 8.0 are affected with the issue mentioned in the security bulletin APSB10-11. This technote provides fixes for the security issues along with the installation instructions.

    I have had phone support from them, and they were quite helpful.  Do you mean they don't do free phone support?  No, they don't.
    I cannot believe they suggested you raise an issue on the forum.  That's just sh!t.  There's no other way of describing that.

If Customer elects to purchase Extended Support, the Annual Support Fee shall be twenty-five (25%) percent of the license fee paid for the Software (if such fee cannot be established, the percentage would be based on the then-current list price of the license fee for the Software), however in no event shall the amount be less than the last renewal prior to renewing under Extended Support.
    If extended support is renewed, the renewal fee would be the Annual Support Fee paid for the prior year increased by the applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI)*, for the 12-month period preceding the renewal date. Should Customer upgrade to the next major version of the Software (e.g., upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0), the Annual Support Fee for the upgraded version shall be the lesser of twenty percent (20%) of the then current list price of the license fee for such upgraded version, or the Annual Support Fee for the last renewal prior to renewing under Extended Support increased by the applicable Consumer Price Index (CPI)*, for the 12-month period preceding the renewal date.
    So there you go.  It's something you'd have to be paying for anyhow, and my reading of that is that it's too late to get it now anyhow.
    I think this will also mean that you're definitely out of luck in regards to any sort of patching going on for CFMX7.

  • Coldfusion error - security?!?

    Hello,
    I recently purchased hosting and am trying to get my website
    online. I'm using coldfusion on my website, but I am getting an
    error.
    This is my code to load the header and footers from a .cfm
    file...
    <body>
    <table width="72%" border="0" cellpadding="0"
    cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
    <td colspan="2"><cfinclude
    template="/includes/inc_header.cfm"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="78%">Info goes here </td>
    <td width="22%">something goes here.... </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td height="38" colspan="2"><cfinclude
    template="/includes/inc_footer.cfm"></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    And here is the error I am getting....

    error.

    you can also go to www.vividcomp.com/test.cfm
    If anybody has a answer or a solution that would be greatly
    appreciated because I am not quite sure where I went wrong... And
    my hosting is from godaddy.com and I purchased the coldfusion
    language support.... Thank you for your time.
